A Tale of Two Giants: SG&A Expenses in the Semiconductor and Telecom Sectors

In the ever-evolving landscape of global technology, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) and Nokia Oyj stand as titans in their respective fields. Over the past decade, TSMC has consistently outpaced Nokia in Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses, reflecting its expansive growth and strategic investments. From 2014 to 2023, TSMC's SG&A expenses surged by approximately 197%, peaking at an impressive $71 billion in 2023. In contrast, Nokia's expenses remained relatively stable, with a modest increase of around 79% over the same period, reaching $2.9 billion in 2023. This disparity highlights TSMC's aggressive expansion strategy in the semiconductor industry, while Nokia maintains a steady course in telecommunications. The data for 2024 is incomplete, but the trend suggests TSMC's continued dominance in SG&A spending, underscoring its pivotal role in the global tech arena.
